Lead client meetings, technical workshops, and design reviews, including constructability and risk assessments.
Provide mentorship, guidance, and technical oversight to engineers, EITs, and designers.
Review and approve vendor drawings and technical submissions to ensure alignment with specifications and project requirements.
Provide senior engineering support during construction, including field reviews, responding to RFIs, and resolving complex technical issues.
Coordinate across multidisciplinary teams (civil/structural, protection & control, telecom, etc.) to ensure integrated designs.
Ensure projects are delivered within scope, schedule, and budget while maintaining high-quality standards.
Champion safety-by-design principles, quality assurance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Prepare estimates and proposals based on Request for Quotation (RFQ) requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from a recognized university.
Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Canada (registration in British Columbia or ability to obtain).
10–15 years of experience in transmission & distribution, with a strong focus on substation design.
Demonstrated experience acting as technical lead or Professional-of-Record on substation projects.
Strong expertise in substation design, including layouts, grounding systems, bus design, and major equipment integration.
Experience working with Canadian utilities (e.g., BC Hydro, ENMAX, FortisBC, Hydro One, Hydro Quebec, etc.) is highly desirable.
In-depth knowledge of applicable codes and standards (Canadian Electrical Code [CSA C22.1], IEEE, IEC) and understanding of OH&S requirements.
Strong leadership, mentoring, and team development capabilities.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong client relationships.
Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with sound engineering judgment.
